House

(1977) ** SBIG

Japanese schoolgirls Gorgeous, Fantasy, Kung Fu, Sweet, Melody, Prof, and Mac are planning their holiday. Their original plans gets nixed, so Gorgeous asks her aunt if they can visit her big old house in the countryside. The old woman is very happy to have them, as she gets few visitors. The young women hardly have time to get settled before the weirdness begins.

So, even though I don't know how to describe it, and it wasn't very good, I still feel like everyone needs to see it once. A trippy, surreal horror-comedy "enhanced" by amateur acting, House earns its stars for bizarreness and originality.
